SCOTUS throws out absurd anti-free speech law in Minnesota

The case was brought to the court by Minnesota Voters Alliance founder Andrew Cilek, who was stopped at Minnesota polls for wearing a “Don’t Tread on Me” T-shirt.

Delaware, Kansas, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and South Carolina also have laws banning political apparel at polls, intended to “prevent voter intimidation.”

The 7-2 ruling in favor of Cilek held that “Minnesota’s political apparel ban violates the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment” and that the law introduced “confusing line-drawing problems” between what could be deemed political or not political.

This never even should have been a question.
